Space Race (2005)

This is Yuri Gagarin as portrayed in the BBC Docudrama Space Race.  This was a co production between British, German, American and Russian production teams which is interesting because me and blog watcher; DeadSpiderEye are not at all convince by the helmets.  He has suggested that this is in fact a redressed helmet from the BBC's Star Cops (1987) and it might just be.



And this is the Alan Shepard look-a-likey in his not especially look-a-likey helmet and suit.  I don't know from where it came but you some how expect better of the BBC



Cheers for pointing me towards this, DeadSpiderEye.

    1. It does. At some point I'll have to check back over all my own posts and look for similar/same helmets and re-blog
